Setting 40 - "Idea"

From @ Keira Trager:

A funny thought comes on his mind.
'What if ill try to annoy this girl,i feel bored'
And He just did.
And after all the words he said, he was little satisfied. Feeling unbored and overexcited like every second counts.
He was little selfish' thinking onesidedly' never thought how he might affect the other side.
He never regreted' he had fun and thats what matters to him.
It was his IDEA' -having fun-over boredom.

From @crazyandhow:

"They love stories. They will believe it, they want to. No media, it will be whispered in their ears by friends, brokers, advisors. How about the rumour of an offshore Oil rig?" A smirk crossed his brilliantly lit face on 5th Avenue building sipping the fine scotch whiskey Chevas.

The retail investors went on a wild goose chase for next 4 months for rising stock prices with no real substance and Mehta pulled of the biggest scam of '92.

Setting 39 - Determination

From @crazyandhow:

More often than not, everything seems wrong. Success which was within grasp is actually long way ahead. A tired soul keeps motivating itself to move forward on its revered path. No one said it will be easy, just be Steady. Giving up is upto you or you can enjoy your Slow journey and try reaching the finishing line. Maybe, just maybe, I am the tortoise in this race.

From @ Keira Trager:

I always failed in what I do. Not because I don’t know how but I am afraid to do so. They laughed at me, bullied & belittled me and all I felt was shame.

My name is Kei’

I don’t know my parents. I live anywhere and all I know is nobody cares for me.

Tomorrow I am turning 21. And after all the time I have spent in this life, after all those roads I’ve travelled, after all the hardships I have done, all the cruelties, the pain, the sacrifices; I am now ready to take new route-to the ROAD LESS TRAVELED! And my only gas to be there is DETERMINATION.

Now, I am ready! Mind is all set. I will definitely show you my real worth.

LIVE & LAUGH!

From @ Megha Sureka Dhanuka:

Once, twice, thrice...innumerable times during the course of a day! Hands fumbled...but the spirit remained...! Her mind thought : one day I will get there..achieve it…the focus was unparalleled … after probably a thousand attempts spanning over a week – she finally got it right! Mastered the art of eating her rice with her own “Minnie Mouse” spoon …how adorable! The unfaltering “determination” of this fifteen month old is indeed a lesson for us grown ups!

Setting 38 - 'End of the road'

From @dbijal:

I found the way to reach my destination. As I took first step towards it, a detour sign greeted me.

With such difficulty I found this way and now I am lost again. Tricky routes make journey interesting and such was this way.

Now I am left with the tried and tested path. End of road is immediate just with no excitement.

With this, I pop sleeping pills to end my life.

From @crazyandhow:

The ambitious brow frowned for a moment before a thread of truth dawned. The madness, triumph and glory all whirled vulnerable in a storm and echoed with the Monk's words "Joy lies in the journey".

The Great General Theodeaus forgot this was the destination he had longed for and walked with peace in his heart on the new road that lay ahead.

From @ Samiksha Adukia:

Isn’t too much ‘safety’ risky?
It camouflages our laziness to think hard, think original.It is too loud to let us hear our Calling.So we opt for the crowded road, because it makes us feel 'safe'; we don’t even check where it goes.And without the map, we don’t see the end coming. SNAP! Don’t get stuck.
Sometimes, the road less travelled is better than a U-Turn at the end of the crowded road.

Setting 37 - 'Home'

From @ Kshitij Bader:

It contained my childhood memories, my toys, my life. I lost it. As a kid, when my dad's company caught fire, we had to let go of all my possessions, including our home. I've worked hard for the last 23 years for this moment. Today as I drive back into it, I can hear all my tears, see my laughter and relive my memories. I've brought it back, bought my home back.

From @crazyandhow:

It never hits until the last moment. Playing cool all this while, the reality had only started sinking in the last one week. The adieus and farewells from friends brought upon the crushing weight of gravity. Entering the Mumbai international airport with a mix of confusion and excitement, turned the last minute to see Mom and I realised that home is not a myth. I am gonna miss them.

From @vidooo:

Love. Happiness. Sense of Belonging. Warmth. Always Safe. Smiles. Comfort. Rest. Peace.

From @ Keira Trager:

Devastated. The feeling grows in me.

Crowd yet feeling so alone.

Having emotional turmoil feels like hell. I should not be dealing with this.

All i did was loved. I loved. Yet i found my heart astray. Longing for a home.

I decided to leave, to be far, ro run away from all the pain.

Heavy rain, thunder & storm. I was sitting under the bridge collecting all the memories, happy moments.

I smiled. And noticed he was coming near me.. Lets go. He said. I was waiting him to come. For 10 years ive been waiting him and at the right moment he was there.

"I love you.. Please come home."

 

From @ Samiksha Adukia:

 

Step out of your comfort zone and you know why they say ‘Home is where the heart is’.

Distance is a challenge.. new place brings uncertainty.

But then, life is less uncertain, more fun.

Just a matter of bumping into the right person.

If you stay with a flat-mate turned friend as awesome as mine, you don’t ask for more.

No wonder they also say ‘Home is where you make it.’

From @ Megha Sureka Dhanuka:

Home – is it the painting adorned walls covered with the ceiling, from which hangs your favourite chandelier? Nah! To me, its an assortment of memories you picked up on your journey called life….days when you sulked in a corner refusing to talk to anyone…to days when you simply couldn’t contain your excitement within the same four corners! True, every corner has its story, but is it really “home” without the loved ones to share it?

From @dbijal
Plain walls and empty house greeted us. It was a canvas and I was the painter.

On entering, images of my new home flashed in my mind. Any home has its owners personality.

Hall - pure and peaceful.
My kitchen - welcoming.
My parents room - simple and comfortable.
My room - mixture of tradition and modern living.

Just then it dawn upon me, my thoughts made this house my home.
